Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to make sure using dateadd or some other function to return a month end date. To be more specific, I am trying to breakdown a contract into smaller periods based on interst payment frequency and dateadd is giving results that are slightly off. For a contract that goes from 12/31/04 to 12/31/05, i need to create the following records-

12/31/04 - 3/31/05
3/31/05 - 6/30/05
6/30/05 - 9/30/05
9/30/05 - 12/31/05

I am ok for the first 3 lines, but for the last line dateadd("m",3) returns

12/31/04 - 3/31/05
3/31/05 - 6/30/05
6/30/05 - 9/30/05
9/30/05 - 12/30/05

as it is adding 3 months to 9/30/05. Any tips would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks.

Hi,
This will also do it:

=DateSerial(Year(Date()),1+Month(Date()),0)
